My Review
Amy Muir is working at the Taylorsford Public Library when a patron falls dead in front of her. He drops a piece of paper with the words "hen" and "sapphire." Before long, Amy is busy searching for answers in a twisty cozy mystery that involves a long lost Romanov empire Faberge egg, a mysterious painting by her uncle, and a second death in the Blue Ridge area. Amy is in danger and those she love may be too.
I wanted to read Death on the Books because I love the Blue Ridge Library Mysteries series. I have read all the books in this series; it's one of my favorites.
As always, I love the library setting and the details of day-to-day work of a library director. I enjoy the small town as well, with Amy's friends, her brother Scott, and her Aunt Lydia. Amy is married to dancer and choreographer Richard and has two young twins, who are into something constantly ... as are the family cats, Loie and Fosse.
There were a lot of twists in this series! The art details were fascinating and pivotal to the plot. Amy finds herself in danger more than once, and the denouement of this mystery was one, pun intended, for the books.
I recommend Death on the Books - and this series - for other cozy mystery fans. Readers who enjoy library settings and small town fiction will especially enjoy this one.
Thanks to Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley for an advanced review copy of this book.
